Wilt Love Me? Trust Me? Praise Me? by Amy Carmichael

Published August 2, 2018 |

By womenofchristianity

O thou beloved child of My desire,

Whether I lead thee through green valleys,

By still waters,

Or through fire,

Or lay thee down in silence under snow,

Through any weather, and whatever

Cloud may gather,

Wind may blow—

Wilt love Me? trust Me? praise Me?

No gallant bird, O dearest Lord, am I,

That anywhere, in any weather,

Rising singeth;

Low I lie.

And yet I cannot fear, for I shall soar;

Thy love shall wing me, blessed Saviour.

So I answer:

I adore;

I love Thee, trust Thee, praise Thee.

“They only did what God permitted them to do, which enabled me always to keep God in sight… When we suffer, we should always remember that God inflicts the blow. Wicked men, it is true, are not infrequently His instruments; and the fact does not diminish, but simply develops their wickedness. But when we are so mentally disposed that we love the strokes we suffer, regarding them as coming from God, and as expressions of what He sees best for us, we are then in the proper state to look forgivingly and kindly upon the subordinate instrument which He permits to smite us.” – Madame Guyon
